Juicing is growing in popularity, and consumers are getting more adventurous when it comes to ingredients, as Blue Marlin Ibiza UAE head chef Mahmoud Turkmani confirms:
“Exotic Asian fruits, especially in the bar industry, have created a strong trend in the non-alcoholic beverage market. People seem more willing to experiment and try new ideas and ingredients.”

Of course, juicing is nothing new, but its growth in recent years has been carried forward by the healthy eating trend.
“The idea behind juicing is a good one,” explains Blue Marlin bar manager, Dinesh Nanhooa.
“You can make some great combinations using the vegetables people do not like to eat regularly — simply stick those veggies in the juicer and you get all the vitamins. For example, throw some spinach in with strawberries and bananas and you can’t even taste it!
“Smoothies can be made with basically everything. Protein powder transforms a smoothie into a meal. Coconut oil turns it into a weight loss supplement. Anything you can imagine can be tossed into a blender and whirred away into a glass filled with vitamins and nutrients.”
